What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Known as the originator of 'Hakata Torikawa' (Hakata-style chicken skin). The unique preparation takes 4-5 days of repeated grilling, resulting in an incomparable crispy-outside, fluffy-inside texture. Selected for Tabelog Yakitori 100 Best 2024. Single location only (Kiyokawa branch closed circa 2015). Reservations by phone only and always hard to get.

Tabelog: 578 reviews, 3.52, Yakitori 100 Best 2024. TripAdvisor: 46 reviews, 4.1. Jalan: 4.1/61 reviews. Many reviews say 'this is the place for torikawa in Hakata' and 'the texture is completely different from others.' Extremely difficult to book. Kiyokawa branch is closed; Yakuin main branch only. No fake reviews.
